pygamess

pygamess is a GAMESS wrapper for Python

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or later (pygamess <0.5 supports only Python2)
• RDKit >= 2020.03.5
• GAMESS
• ruamel.YAML

Setup

$ pip install pygamess

set GAMESS_HOME environment in your .bashrc or .zshrc:

$ export GAMESS_HOME=/usr/local/gamess

Test

$ pytest

Basic Usage

Single point calculation

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from rdkit import Chem
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> r = g.run(m)
>>> r.total_energy
-152.127991054

Or use rdkit directly:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from rdkit import Chem
>>> from rdkit.Chem import AllChem
>>> m = Chem.MolFromSmiles("CCO")
>>> m = Chem.AddHs(m)
>>> AllChem.EmbedMolecule(m)
0
>>> AllChem.UFFOptimizeMolecule(m,maxIters=200)
0
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> r = g.run(m)
>>> r.total_energy
-152.1279910526

The GamessOut object(r) contains the results of the GAMESS calculation and the RDKit Chem object with the calculation results:

>>> r.total_energy
-152.1279910526
>>> r.HOMO
-0.3453

The RDKit Chem object has the same information to store these data into SDF:

>>> r.mol

>>> r.mol.GetProp("total_energy")

Geometry optimization

Set the run_type as 'optimize'. This optimization process updates the coordinates of the molecule:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> g.run_type('optimize')
>>> r = g.run(mol)
>>> r.total_energy
-152.1330661028
>>> original_conf = m.GetConformer(0)
>>> optimized_conf = r.mol.GetConformer(0)
>>> for c in original_conf.GetPositions():
...   print(c)

Changing basis sets

Use basis_sets method:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> g.run_type = "optimize"
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-152.127991054
>>> g.basis_sets("3-21G")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-153.2170653562
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-154.0054866151
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G*")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-154.0702703669
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G**")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-154.0843823698

Or edit the basis attribute directly:

>>> g.options['basis'] = {'gbasis': 'sto', 'ngauss': '3'}
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-152.127991054

DFT calculation

B3LYP/6-31G*:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> g.run_type("optimize")
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G*")
>>> g.dft_type("B3LYP")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-154.9387962055

M062X/6-31G**:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> g.run_type("optimize")
>>> g.dft_type("M06-2X")
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G**")
>>> g.run(m).total_energy
-154.9636095207

PCM calculation

Pygamess currently only supports CPCM, but will support IEFPCM in the future:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CCO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> g.basis_sets("6-31G*")
>>> g.pcm_type("water")
>>> g.run_type("optimize")
>>> r = g.run(m)
>>> r.total_energy
-154.0824604616
>>> r.internal_energy
-154.0748367584
>>> r.delta_internal_energy
0.0
>>> r.electrostatic_interaction
-0.0076237032
>>> r.pierotti_cavitation_energy
0.0
>>> r.dispersion_free_energy
0.0
>>> r.repulsion_free_energy
0.0
>>> r.total_interacion
-0.0076237032

Printing GAMESS INPUT

use input method:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess
>>> from pygamess.utils import rdkit_optimize
>>> m = rdkit_optimize("CO")
>>> g = Gamess()
>>> print(g.input(m))
$contrl scftyp=rhf runtyp=energy $end
$basis gbasis=sto ngauss=3 $end
$system mwords=100 $end

Debugging pygamess

set PYGAMESS_DEBUG environment:

$ export PYGAMESS_DEBUG=1

This won't remove the all files generated by the GAMESS executable, including the output files.

set logger level:

>>> from pygamess import Gamess, logger
>>> import logging
>>> logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
>>> g = Gamess()
DEBUG:pygamess.gamess:tmpdir: /var/folders/gm/4tcnnyqd09d2jt7p0dtvr28m0000gn/T/tmp889j9c7e
